There's no denying that KME logos aside the Hallmark Ford C is identical (I couldn't find a single difference) to the Athearn Ford C Pumpers.

Did they produce a variation (i.e. like the white or green trucks they produced in addition to the red ones in years past)?

Did anyone scale out the Hallmark model? My question is, how does Hallmark pull off producing this model? Do they ask Athearn permission to use their mold--but it's not an Atheran mold b/c it's a different scale.

Also, when you consider the working and authenticly designed lights, this is a truly nice collectors model better suited for the shelf than the tree. And a GREAT price at $20 (or $10 if you can find one now).

I believe I have seen white versions of the Hallmark Ford C listed on E-Bay, and, as I recall, the last Little Engine House column by Larry Phillips in "Toy Trucker" had a picture of the two versions.

The one thing missing on the Hallmark model is mirrors, which were included on all three scales of the Athearn piece.
